Epinephrine and norepinephrine are excitatory chemicals that increase blood sugar, heart rate, and airway relaxation, synthesized from dopamine through specific enzymes. They are secreted by the adrenal medulla in response to stress and can be measured in urine and plasma for diagnosing conditions like pheochromocytoma. Abnormal levels of these hormones can lead to various health issues, including anxiety, hypertension, and cardiac problems.
